It was close to everything we wanted to visit and to see The receptionist (Siliman) was very helpful and kind to us and everyone He especially speaks different languages including English and Arabic I recommend it for people who want an economic place to sleep at the end of the day. Also a place close to many tourist attractions in Istanbul

Some of the towels are not clean and have stains They should provide more clean towels, pillows, blankets and bed covers

The accommodation was superbly located, staff were friendly and helpful, and I had everything I needed for the night. I could not have asked for a better place. Checking in and out was no issue at all and the online payment easy and convenient. The hotel even includes a roof terrace which guests are free to make use of, with a lovely view of the Bosphorus. In terms of price to quality/satisfaction ratio combined with location, I doubt you can find anything better than this. The room was simple but with all the necessary amenities, and clean. I will assuredly be staying here again!

Very good, staff, excellent service. Staff was very Co operative. Whenever we ask for anything they help us more then our expectations. Location was great close to all good restaurants and also walking distance to Topkapi Museum, Blue mosque, Aya Sofia these places are 25 Minute walk from hotel and also you will find a big market leading to Grand Bazaar, on the way if you want to shop something as sovenier this market you will find everything on wholesale rate.

There was nothing which I didn't like

The location was really good. About 20-25 minutes walk to Galata Tower, Grand Bazar. About the same for Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. The guy at the front desk was really helpful as well. The hotel is inside a small bazar, so you can get some local souvenirs as well. I bought some Turkish delights and Baklawa from here.

The bathroom facilities were not the best. There was a hand shower and it didn't have a stand. The sink was a bit too small. When you wash your face, your feet are bound to get wet.

So for the price it was very good,I am constantly travelling so I am on a budget,I was in Istanbul 40 years ago and this hotel and area was like going back in time,the area is completely local,just like I like it,cheap food ,smiling faces,a real working class area,very friendly staff who went out of there way to make you feel welcome,I will be back

The location is very good. Local public transportation is nearby (buses and metro). The staff is very helpful and friendly especially Mohammed who is extremely polite. Room was being cleaned and new towels and bed sheets were being replaced every day. Very good air conditioning but they need to clean the filters of air conditioners.

Noise is the only problem. Hotel visitors need to care about others who are sleeping in the middle of the night.There were dogs barking outside side just below our room window. The hotel personnel might think of providing the property with sound isolation room doors and windows, in such case it would be 100% perfect.

The property was simple but as travellers that is all we needed. En suite bathroom, tv and mini fridge meant it was easy to self contain and be comfortable. Suleyman was incredibly helpful to us, with recommendations on places to eat and even helped us book a transfer back to the airport while looking after our suitcases after checkout. Thanks so much Suleyman!

we already miss our home in Turkey. We throughly enjoyed our stay at Marpalace! The friendly staff and neighbourhood really made our stay enjoyable for our family. Marpalace is located in a short walk to spice bazar, the river and near a lot of eateries, shops, groceries and close to sights. The local street gives you a good taste of the local Turkish culture, locals selling their goods, drinking tea and doing life. We enjoyed utilising the roof top for sunset afternoons and watching the hustle and bustle happen below whilst soaking in views of the city. What really made our trip memorable was the beautiful people. The staff at M.P as well as at the restaurant below made us feel so welcome and also filled our bellies. We were travelling with children which made the experience so memorable. our daughter (3) was addressed as princess your entire stay and the kindest and generosity we were shown not just from the hotel and restaurant staff but also the public really does remind you that Santa does originate from Turkey. Even though we are in a new country our hearts are still sad we had to leave Turkey after such a wonderful experience. Thank you, Salaman, Mohammad and Mohammad from the shop and 3 beautiful men at the shop! We are so grateful to you all. We really experienced the most beautiful kind people you made our stay100% special. The hotel was worth the experience ! thank you!

We appreciated it all for what it was. thank you

The staff is friendly, willing to help. The location is nice in the centre, near main sights, there are many spots to eat around, there is a Turkish sauna near. The room is a separate with WC for the price of the hostel and rather clean. So it's a good price/quality factor.
